- Hand-poured 6.4 OZT .999 silver bar using the Delft clay method
- Prototype of a faulty 3D design: Top B-hole is 0.5 mm lower than bottom B-hole (poured it anyway)
- First pour this size, but promising for pouring in Delft clay
- Sandblasted
- Titanium engraved plate for the private key - top 5 letters readable but damaged due to 'impatient' cramming of the titanium in the bar... (dropped the wood wedge and hammered the edge of the titanium plate)
- Private key also printed on paper and placed on top of engraved private key, for assurance
- The holographic sticker sticks, but it is not a good fit at the edge, which will probably make the edges curl a micro-bit in a decade or two
- Funded with 0.0064 BTC
- Silver bar comes with the (error in top B-hole) 3D printed model, enclosed in a custom casing
- The custom casing is polished, but has some visible scratches
- The silver is enclosed with foam on the sides, to keep it snug-fit in the casing
- ....It's a prototype, should have been unfunded, but it is not
